Hi,

we've been happily using Brownstone's latex -> edu conversion service for some time now, but always with that slightly queasy feeling of "what happens if it's unavailable?". Well that's the case at the moment: I've submitted a ticket with their support folk, but times in Australia don't match up well with US times! In the meantime we have a number of assignments due to be made available to students, but which only exist as latex files. Conversion by hand is, to say the least, painful and time consuming (our Level I coordinator has already converted two by hand, and doesn't need another few hours of such nonsense), so I'm hoping that there may be another way in which this can be done. Any suggestions?

Longer term I'm told that Maple T.A. will have the ability to do this conversion "in-house". Anyone know if this is the case? I doubt it really matters, but just for the record: we're running 2.5 via the Blackboard building block here at the University of Adelaide.

Thanks,
Paul
